During cold winters the skilled workforce came indoors and manufactured the wooden stairs, doors, windowframes etc. ready for the Spring. They became so skilled at woodworking that they began supplying other companies and stopped the construction business. The company was located on the banks of the canal and its raw materials were delivered by canal barge and despatched in fleet of horsedrawn carts.
